Is there a printer spooler that operates like the unix printer spooler:
it prints all the files in a directory, sequentially by date/time.  With
a hard disk, this could be a better spooler than one that eats up a chunk
of RAM and doesn't support queueing and de-queueing (via file deletes).


A somewhat related question:  How does GEM feel about TSRs and ACCs opening,
using, closing, and deleting files?  I've read that they should not do such
things.  What about file buffer space: is there a way to increase the number
of files allowed open?
